The diverse impressions are ideal for travellers who do not want to limit their stay to a single type of holiday. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Moglia, you can choose your accommodation according to these different interests - from active hours outdoors to architectural details.

Teatro Italia: Architecture in Current Use

The Teatro Italia was built in 1923 as the Casa del Fascio and financed through a public collection. Its façade combines motifs from medieval Lombard civic architecture with Liberty-style decorations from the early 20th century. A ceiling fresco in the atrium complements this design. Performances, conferences and lectures, as well as theatre productions, currently take place there.

Cycling and Walking Paths along the Secchia

At the Ecomuseo delle Bonifiche, an entire area is understood as an open-air museum. The territory presents itself as a living and changing museum space. The Ecomuseo has 14 km of cycling and walking paths, which mainly run along the embankments of the drainage canals and the Secchia River. It also includes four rest and orientation points with seating. The four rest points structure an excursion through the Ecomuseo's network of paths by providing specific opportunities for breaks. For planning your day, this means you have a clear choice: you can explore the surroundings by bicycle or on foot, combining both forms of movement.

Chiesa di Bondanello: Structure and Tradition

The Chiesa di Bondanello Esaltazione della Santa Croce was completely rebuilt between 1663 and 1669. It has a single-nave interior, two side chapels and a bell tower. Inside, it preserves one of the fragments of the True Cross. According to legend, the fragments reached the West in the 4th century at the behest of Saint Helena, the mother of Emperor Constantine. The building's form and this tradition tell stories of history in different ways.

Villa Galvagnina Vecchia: Frescoes and Original Details

Villa Galvagnina Vecchia lies between the hamlet of Coazze di Moglia and the hamlet of Galvagnina di Pegognaga. It is a Renaissance manor house with interior frescoes attributed to Giulio Romano or - more probably - to pupils of the famous master. It also preserves original floor tiles and coffered wooden ceilings. The villa is currently not open to visitors because the building is dangerous.
